Would like to chat over a cup of coffee/tea with a fellow sufferer.

Hi A. Lauren,

can't join you for coffee as I am in Nova Scotia, but thought I'd send you a wave from the east coast. :)

Hi Lauren,
I too am from Ottawa and was wondering if you knew if there were any PTSD support groups in the area?

In Ottawa. Don't know how to find others suffering for camraderie, understanding and support. Struggling like never before...

This post is quite old but I thought I'd revive it.

I'm in Ottawa and would be willing to connect with other PTSD carers and sufferers from around the region.

I'm also member of an Ottawa support group for people with a mood disorder, although I no longer attend support meetings, only socials, and do some volunteering.

That said, some of our mood disorder members have, in the past, expressed an interest to me in having support meetings for people affected by abuse.

And so, if there's enough interest, we could have informal meetings in Ottawa to start (Tim Horton's?), and if we feel that it's going well, start a meeting group and advertize it on meetup.com.

I would then inform, through our newsletter, members with a mood disorder who also have PTSD symptoms about our informal get togethers.

Just reviving this thread in view of my other thread regarding the potential gathering in Ottawa in 2010.

I'm also in Ottawa and would be very interested in this from a Carers point of view.

A few of us are starting a support group for people (sufferers only) who have been exposed to trauma, neglect, abuse, etc. It will be a safe place where people can express their emotions, talk about their issues, etc.

Hi Johnny, I still would want to participate if there is a gathering of sufferers and carers :smile:
